What’s new with ESET NOD32 9?

In terms of effectiveness, as always ESET NOD32 keeps on improving their product in every new release. New versions and updates mean new virus signatures, databases and a more efficient detection rate.

How about its UI (user interface)? The only thing that I take notice is its “settings”. The “Computer settings” before consist of six tabs;

Real-time system protection.

Document protection.

Removable media protection.

HIPS.

Gamer mode.

Anti-stealth protection.

Now it is called “Computer Protection” with 4 tabs;

Real-time system protection

Device control.

Host Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS).

Gamer mode.

The “Web and email settings” that has three (3) tabs has also changed. It is now “Internet protection” with same 3 tabs and also with the same description.

Web access protection.

Email client protection.

Anti-phishing protection.

Verdict

Eset NOD32 Antivirus 9 is a solid and sophisticated antivirus, no wonder it is considered as on of the best antivirus in the world. The Threat detection is above average, false alarm is almost zero and compatibility with other security software is also good.

Perhaps, the keylogger detection that runs on background is the only thing that needs improvement. It should be the primary target of background scanning to detect as fast as possible.
